Seeing the way Claire looked at him uncomfortably made Felix even more annoyed. “It's not in the contract, but you can't just do whatever you want,” Felix said.Claire was of course even more confused but then Felix, who had already said something he shouldn't have said, said again, “Remember you still have dependents that you haven't resolved with the financial issue.”Claire was surprised when the matter was brought up but because she did not want to add to the problem she could only say, “Yes, Sir. I will solve that problem immediately.”She then excused herself and hurried going to Sherly's room.“What's wrong with you?” Shirley asked, her former boss who was actually quite friendly with her.“Ma’am, can't I just go back to my original job?” Sherly was wide-eyed, “What do you mean, you want to be an assistant manager again?”“Yes, ma'am.”Sherly clucked her tongue and gave Claire a strange look as she said, “Claire. Don't you know how many people would love to be in your position
That same night Jasmine had the items she ordered delivered directly to the address of the apartment she shared with Ludwig.She and Ludwig had been living separately from their parents since they got married. Ludiwg chose this decision because he did not want to be disturbed by Michel's family about his pretend marriage.Jasmine was currently waiting for her husband to come home while drinking her hot chocolate that she had just made. She looked at the clock on the wall and counted down until she heard the door to their apartment open indicating that Jasmine was home.Jasmine remained in the kitchen sipping her drink and it surprised Ludwig to see his wife still awake there.“You're not asleep yet?” Ludwig asked.Jasmine shook her head and raised her glass, indirectly telling Ludwig about her activities.The aroma of hot chocolate soon reached Ludwig's nose and it was also expected by Jasmine. Ludwig loved hot chocolate as much as she did.“Can you make some for me too?” Ludwig asked
Desta quickly got out of the car with Claire staring at her boss with an astonished look.“What's wrong, Sir?” Claire asked.Felix did not answer Claire's question and instead looked at Desta with a displeased look.“Is there a problem?” Now it was Desta who was asking Felix.The 27-year-old man was also neatly dressed and no less cool than Felix. In addition to Desta's charming appearance, Desta's face was also very handsome. In addition, his work was also very good. Felix could also see it from one glance, so Felix was even more annoyed by it.Felix smiled wryly at the man and then spoke, “This is not the area where outsiders go up and down.”“Huh?” Claire was surprised.Desta was still waiting for the man he guessed was Claire's boss to speak further so he could know how to behave.“From now on vehicles that are not guests of this resort are prohibited from entering this area.” Felix said in a cold tone and looked sharply at Desta.Claire, who did not accept her boss's words, sai
And throughout that day, Ludwig really felt like he couldn't concentrate on his own company because his brain was wandering all over the place.He also couldn't focus on some of the projects he was working on until he finally closed the file he had opened. Rather than getting messy, Ludwig chose to postpone working on it."Damn, Ludwig. Ludwig. What the hell did you lose control of yesterday?" he muttered with deep regret.Ludwig Beyer was not a man so chaste that he had never had sex. He wasn't like that.Before dating Claire, Ludwig had had several one-night stands with several women and they had always ended without any problems.However, his habit disappeared when he started liking Claire and thought he would always be faithful to her.Claire made him fall in love and he couldn't look away. He was also convinced to marry the beautiful woman.He never touched another woman until the moment when he had to part with Claire because of the news of the time. A news that made his family j
Felix Homann felt like he was seeing a ghost. He had a hard time believing what he was seeing. But strangely he was even more intrigued by the scene in front of him and ended up concentrating fully on observing the two from some distance away.Despite being on opposite sides of the room, he felt very fortunate to be able to see from his seat through the clear glass that looked directly across.The glass could see outward but not inward, which was very advantageous for Felix.He saw Claire painstakingly cleaning the boy's mouth and chatting cheerfully with Sean several times.“Unbelievable,” Felix muttered under his breath.“Sean is Claire's son? But how can she have a child?” he said, increasingly clueless.His head was suddenly throbbing and he was even more confused by the information he had just gotten.It was not accurate data but direct information that she had seen with her own eyes. Obviously it was a well-established fact.“Claire is married? But to whom?”“Did she get married
Andrew was silent and didn't dare say a word when he heard his master's curse.Felix wanted to get out of his car and demand an explanation for Claire's lies.However, Andrew, who seemed to know his master's intentions, quickly said, “Sir, you can't go there, because if they know you're following them, it won't be good for your reputation.”Felix tried hard to restrain himself and exhaled repeatedly. He was finally able to regain his composure after many attempts.“Then, why did Sean say that he never met his father? Is it possible that little boy lied to me too?” Before Andrew could say anything, he heard Felix say again, “Wow! Did Claire teach him to lie too? Unbelievable!”Felix clapped his hands in exasperation.“This is what makes me so reluctant to deal with little kids, because they are manipulative and no one can be trusted,” Felix said in exasperation.Before his boss's anger could get the better of him, Andrew tried to open Felix's mind by saying, “Sir, a child can never lie
"My friends at daycare, Mom." The boy answered so innocently that Claire was even more annoyed at the boys who had said that to her son.How could children Sean's age think like that?In her heart she cursed at the parents who could not teach their children to have decency so that they would not say things that hurt others like what had just happened.Not wanting to discourage her son further, Claire tried to encourage him by saying, "Honey, that's not true at all. Your dad didn't leave you at all. He ... he just left because he had business in a very far place."In the end, this was the explanation Claire chose in the hope that her son would easily understand."Where did he go, Mom?" Sean asked again.Desta, who saw the scene, felt even more guilty because he was the one who had started the topic so that it would trouble Claire.Now he realized how difficult it was to be a single mother who had to perform multiple roles for the sake of her child.Had he not fallen in love with Haruka
Although not too sad but Desta still would definitely lose the figure of Haruka who had been the center of the axis of his life for some time.The girl was not only a girlfriend but also a friend who was always there for him. He was also sure that Haruka would never change and leave him alone, but he would also feel a little uncomfortable when he was in Haruka's presence.However, he had no choice but to accept the reality so that he could move forward with peace of mind."It's just one of life's journeys, Desta. It doesn't matter."Haruka herself was even more relieved that she had confessed her true feelings to Desta and went home quite cheerful.Although she also felt like she was missing Desta, it wasn't fair to Desta for the relationship to continue. It was obvious that she couldn't be loyal to Desta and it would make their relationship unhealthy."How come you're not with Desta?" Claire asked when he saw Haruka returning home alone in a taxi."We broke up." Haruka replied after
Love?That one word came back to Felix's heart.Andrew who saw the confusion and shock in Felix's eyes understood it very well.Of course, for as long as he had known Felix Homann, the man had never once had those feelings for a woman.A woman was just a bedmate to him. Felix treated them all in the same way, just like someone who had helped him with his sexual problems. Never once had he favored a woman. Only Claire. The one who had kept him on edge for years, whom he had only met for a few hours. "Sir, if you're still doubting your own feelings, you might want to try one thing," Andrew said, trying to make a suggestion.Felix replied without turning his head, "What?""You might try secretly bringing Claire to your bed."Felix's face hardened instantly, "Are you crazy? She'll kill me on the spot if she finds out." Andrew explained, "Sir, I understand. But, this will really help you to know whether you are really in love with Claire or not." "I don't understand. What do you mean?"
"No, I don't. Of course I don't hate you. I just ... just ....""Just what?" Felix demanded.Claire wasn't sure how to explain it properly but she tried not to offend Felix."Look ... you can still do all your responsibilities to Sean without marrying me."Felix shook his head firmly, "I can't.""What do you mean you can't?" Claire asked as she was getting confused.Felix was also at a loss as to how to explain it.He could not possibly tell Claire that he not only wanted to be Sean's legal father but also wanted to be her husband.This was because he knew with certainty that Claire would not believe him.Claire would even think he was crazy for liking her in such a short time.So, Felix tried to rack his brains and reply to her, "It won't be the same. I want to be her father every day, all the time. I want to keep her near me and I ... want to take responsibility for what I've done to you in the past."This of course made Claire even more surprised. Why would he say that? Claire won
"Sorry, Ludwig. I've actually liked you for a long time, but never expressed it because I respected the relationship between the two of you," Jasmine explained.She put on as pitiable an expression as she could so that Ludwig would sympathize with her.Ludwig didn't understand her feelings but he seemed unable to accept them. He was afraid that their relationship would become awkward. And it's true, since then their relationship had gotten worse and worse as Ludwig increasingly felt that Jasmine was trying to take his heart.In fact, without hesitation Jasmine used dirty means to lure Ludwig without Ludwig's knowledge. But, Ludwig still couldn't accept the love of his legal wife.Jasmine always covered up all her heartache in front of her family and despite being repeatedly shaken by a deep sense of sadness due to Ludwig's not-so-nice treatment of her, she still protected him from her family.It's now been years since they've been together, but Ludwig still didn't show the slightest
The words of her family really seemed to slap Jasmine. Everything she had ever wanted was dashed instantly. Her efforts were destroyed, aka nothing but Claire's departure.She never wanted that to happen to her. In fact, at that time her family openly asked her to indirectly replace Claire.She was asked to become Claire. She was required to learn so many things that she herself was not sure she had the freedom to do anything.However, after all that she luckily got a reply that put a big smile on her face."The Beyer Family is asking us for a favor." Christine said one evening."Their company is in crisis and only we can help them," Christine continued as she looked at all her family members.Henry of course knew this because he was the one who was consulted by the Beyer family."But, I have made one condition if they want to be helped," Henry said.Jasmine, who wasn't interested in the matter at all, didn't really listen and just concentrated on her dinner.However, when suddenly th
In the end Claire went to the nightclub with Jasmine and wore a sexy red dress that revealed her cleavage. Obviously Claire felt very uncomfortable with her own appearance, but she chose to ignore the discomfort.In her heart, Jasmine was really very jealous of Claire who only wore the dress without makeup and already looked so very beautiful and extremely charming.What's more, Jasmine had also managed to dress Claire up like a party queen at the nightclub with a fiery red lipstick that was the same color as the dress she was wearing.No wonder that as soon as the two of them stepped into the place where people were free to dance and express themselves, Claire immediately became the center of attention.There were so many men looking with interest at Claire who at that moment in the evening looked so stunning and so amazing.In fact, it could be said that Claire stole the attention of almost all the male visitors, making the women stare at her with envy and jealousy.If Jasmine hadn
However, what can be said. Jasmine could never destroy the relationship between Ludwig and Claire.Ludwig really was very loyal to her sister, while her sister also seemed to love Ludwig very much.Her irritation then became intense. Jasmine still couldn't let Ludwig go even though she couldn't do anything about it.In the end, she even witnessed Ludwig proposing to Claire.At that time, the atmosphere was very romantic. Ludwig proposed to Claire on her brother's birthday."I have never met a woman so perfect as you that this heart can never be willing if you are with another man."The family present at Claire Michel's birthday celebration were amazed by Ludwig's declaration of love for Claire."Therefore, please allow me to be your companion forever," Ludwig continued with his eyes full of love for Claire.Claire, who did not expect to be proposed to on her birthday, replied with a word that finally made everyone clap loudly."Thank you, I promise to make you happy for the rest of my
Ludwig didn't know why Jasmine thought he was so stubborn.However, he could only give her an answer that would never change, "Because my heart will never change and you know who my heart belongs to."After saying that Ludwig quickly changed his clothes and then left the apartment he shared with his wife.As soon as Ludwig left, Jasmine's hatred for her biological brother grew."Why does the one Ludwig loves have to be you, Claire? Why you?"Not only did she hate Claire for taking everything from her but she also wanted to destroy her sister."Since childhood you've taken everything, Claire. Then, why is it that Ludwig is the only one I want to have but you also took him away? Why should you get everything? Why?"Suddenly, Jasmine seemed to be reminded of her past where she and Claire were still students.Several years ago,At that time Claire had worn his high school uniform while Jasmine was still wearing her white and blue uniform. They were having breakfast in the morning with th
"Yes, Ma'am. We understand," the men said in unison. Even Jason, though reluctantly, replied to the manager.Shirley then dismissed them and the staff returned to their respective workplaces.That left Jason and Elena, a staff member who was now also Shirley's subordinate. The girl still couldn't accept Shirley's words and looked upset about it but she tried to suppress it."Isn't she the one who looks strange? No?" Elena asked Jason.Jason nodded his head quickly, "It looks like she doesn't really like this news.""Yes. Why would he not like it if his single subordinate could now be in a relationship with a superior at this resort?" Jason snorted when he heard Elena's question.The man did not expect Elena to be a very innocent girl who would not suspect anyone.Yet in her eyes, Shirley's manner of speaking was very clear. Her actions reflected Shirley's dislike for Claire.But Jason was still kind enough to explain, "Ms. Shirley most likely also likes Mr. Felix or at least has a c
Before Felix could begin answering Claire's questions, the doctor who was treating Sean came back out of the room and met the two anxious people."Sean has passed the critical period and will now be transferred to the hospitalization room soon," the doctor said.Claire breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the good news. Felix couldn't help but feel relieved as he hurriedly said to the doctor, "Thank you for saving Sean, Doc."Felix rarely said those words, but this time he felt he had to. All this was of course for his son's sake."No need to thank me, it's my job to save all patients."Felix nodded politely at the doctor. Claire said the same thing. Felix then told a nurse standing next to the doctor, "Please, move my son to the best room in the hospital."The nurse replied with an obedient nod.My son. Claire, who heard those two words spoken so clearly by Felix, frowned. Felix didn't seem at all awkward about saying those two words, as if he was really very used to saying t
